In
Kansas City, MO, KMBC TV 9 reports that Girl Scout twin sisters Maggie and
Sophie have been doing community service for half their young lives, and their
work recently earned them recognition from the White House.
The
two Girl Scouts from the Girl Scouts of NE Kansas & NW Missouri were
recently awarded the President’s Volunteer Service Award for their many
community contributions. From cooking food for local shelters to initiating
book drives and much more, these are two very busy girls. Cogratulations to
Maggie and Sophie!
The
President’s Volunteer Service Award program is a great way to thank and honor
those who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to
engage in volunteer service.
Awards
are given to youth ages 14 and under who have completed 50 or more hours of
volunteer service; to individuals 15 and older who have completed 100 or more
hours; and to families or groups who have completed 200 or more hours. Lifetime
achievement is recognized with a special President's Call to Service Award,
which honors those who have provided more than 4,000 hours of service during
the course of their lifetime.
